I give more weight to the idea of faster, more advanced versions of the
PA-RISC architecture than IA-64 on the HP3000. It wouldn't surprise me if we
never see an HP3000 based on IA-64 and I'm not so sure that would be a bad
thing.

Maybe it's not so much a gut feeling as it is a recollection of a recent
chip collaboration Motorola-Apple-IBM. The formula seems to have a flaw. If
HP can develop a chip that will outperform the IA-64 without the external
politics and without giving all the credit to Intel, what's the advantage of
building an IA-64 based HP3000?
